Fax at Mac: Pricing, Process & Online Alternatives
Mac computers haven't included built-in fax hardware since 2016 — but you can still fax from any Mac today using online services. Here's the complete breakdown of pricing, methods, and the cheapest alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fax directly from my Mac?
Yes — but not with built-in hardware. Apple removed the internal fax modem in 2016. The easiest method today is an online fax service like [mFax.to](https://mfax.to): open a browser, upload your PDF, enter the fax number, and send. No phone line or extra hardware required.
How much does it cost to fax from a Mac?
Online fax services cost as little as $6.99 for a full week of unlimited faxing — far cheaper than store faxing at $1.89–$2.49 per page. A 10-page fax at FedEx runs about $15; the same fax sent online via mFax.to costs a fraction of that.
Do Mac's convenience stores offer fax services?
No. Mac's Convenience Stores in Canada were fully rebranded as Circle K by 2017 and never offered public fax services. If you're looking for a fax near you, online faxing from your Mac computer is the fastest and cheapest option.
Can I fax from a MacBook without a phone line?
Yes. Online fax services transmit faxes over the internet — no landline needed. Visit [mFax.to](https://mfax.to), upload your document, enter the recipient's fax number, and send. Delivery confirmation arrives in real time.
What is the best fax app for Mac?
mFax.to works directly in Safari or Chrome with no download required. For dedicated desktop apps, iFax and Fax.Plus offer macOS apps. For occasional use, mFax.to's browser-based approach is the simplest — sign up in 30 seconds and send immediately.
